Lamar Odom is in a Coma After Reportedly Suffering a Drug Overdose at Nevada Brothel

Former NBA star and former Kardashian in-law Lamar Odom is in a coma after he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel from a supposed overdose, according to reports.

Odom, 35, was in critical condition and on life support at a Las Vegas hospital, where drugs were found inside the former Los Angeles Laker's system, and doctors were treating the situation as an overdose, according to E! News.

He apparently suffered from a loss of oxygen and may have had an "ischemic stroke," typically caused by a blood clot preventing blood flow to the brian and is often associated with a cocaine overdose, among other drugs, E! News reported.

He was initially going to be rushed to the hospital by helicopter, but because of his 6' 10" height, Odom he could not be transported by air, the Times reported.

Odom gained reality television fame after he married Khloe Kardashian in a large, televised ceremony in 2009. Kardashian filed for divorce in 2013, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce has not yet received final approval from a judge.

Kardashian was reportedly working at a lingerie shoot in Beverly Hills when she learned what hapepned to her estranged husband. Joined by her mother Kris Jenner and her sister Kim Kardashian West, Khloe flew to Las Vegas to be by his bedside at the hospital, TMZ reported.

Kardashian's sister, Kendall Jenner, was the first family member to acknowledge the tragedy, tweeting from Shanghai, China, where the model is for Shanghai Fashion Week:

Odom won two NBA championships with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010, winning two championship rings and the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2011. In December 2011 the Lakes attempted to trade Odom to New Orleans but he eventually went to Dallas. He last played with the NBA in 2013.

Former teammates- and his only remaining teammates on the roster- Kobe Bryant and Metta World Peace played an exhibition game in Las Vegas Tuesday night, losing 107-100 to Sacramento.

But Odom’s rep warned to not listen to speculation about his condition or pay attention to any rumors that pop up.

““Family and friends are extremely concerned for Lamar,” publicist Eve Sarkisyan told Us in a statement. “Please don't listen to the false information being circulated unofficially. Please respect the family's privacy during this difficult time.”
